So, I am such a fan of water, but know some just can not get their hydration priorities in order!  For me it is way hard in the winter months.  so... I decided to take the "SASSY WATER CHALLENGE".

SASSY WATER

2 Liters of Water

1 Teaspoon Freshly Grated Ginger

1 Medium Cucumber, peeled & sliced thinly

1 Medium Lemon, thinly sliced

Combined all ingredients in a large pitcher, chill in the refrigerator and let flavors blend overnight!

For for the next four days I will be drinking one pitcher per day. I have my first one ready!

I will make each evening let set overnight.  For me the simple act of mixing it up reminds me the next 4 days LIFE will be a bit different!  The ingredients are not just for flavor they have purpose!  The Ginger helps calm and soothe the GI Tract.  No better time then the holidays with all the spicy or sweet food intake to give your GI Tract some special attention!

I dare you to take the challenge you might just loose some bloat in the process!  If you have questions just log on to doablelife.com and shoot me a message!

Affordable Fitness

As the winter arrives and the holiday season in full force, I decided to share a few interesting facts...about burning body fat, staying germ free and managing your sweet tooth...and the best NEWS...it will NOT cost you an arm or a leg!

Studies show that the working out outside in the Cold has advantages.  A small study found that a type of fat cell known as brown fat can sense the cold.  To warm up, these cells release their energy as heat, torching calories and melting the other fat-the kind you want to get rid of.  Bundle up and get outside and get moving!

According to Jen Patel, PhD, deputy director of the CDC's Antimicrobial Resistance...Simple soap offers the best defense against virus protection.  In fact, Washing your hands in warm water is enough.   The ingrediant, Triclosan which is found in many antibacterial products, is not any better at fighting germs and may be be contributing to the rise of super bugs.

Walking is the most effective way to fight off cravings?  Taking a brisk 15-minute walk can curb even the most drool-induced chocolate craving, finds a new study published in Appetite.  Focusing on walking distracts your mind from sweets as well as helps reduce stress and boredom, both linked to cravings.

So...if you can not stand the cold, your out of simple soap or you hate walking or "don't have time", NO worry.  Just one simple thing will help you accomplish buring body fat, staying virus free and last but not least curbing the old sweet tooth - H2O...yes water!  Water is our wonder resourse.  Thankfully we are in a situation locally it is VERY available.  So, wake up and take advantage.  Even I have a love hate relationship with water, but the days I am faithful, I feel the best.  

                                  

EXCUSES

Why is it we are always looking for a reason to NOT go to work or to NOT workout or to NOT whatever?

It sure is looking like our winter might be aggressive. So, we might as well embrace it and carry on!  After all, life is not going to halt in its tracks!  We should not just set down or should I say wad up on the sofa!  Get up and own it day after day, year after year!

So, I decided to go ahead and order me a pair of snowshoes for running!  I'm gonna embrace this winter!  I will be able to get where I need to and torch a few calories while I'm at it!  Each day is an adventure for me so I personally need no excuses!  How about you?
